Well, it’s Friday, so that can only mean one thing! It’s Five in the Eye day! Hello and a very warm welcome to Colourful Radio’s news review. In London, I’m Phil Woodford and you’re listening to episode 0382.
MICHAEL
And joining Phil via Zoom this week, it’s me - Michael Ohajuru - revealing that our top story is going to be about the stability of Rishi Sunak’s new government. Almost immediately the Cabinet was put in place people were commenting on how it involved too many old faces. And Home Secretary Suella Braverman came under immediate pressure to quit.
PHIL
For story number two, we look in more detail at the immigration debate that has been stirred up by the Home Secretary, who described the 40,000 migrants crossing the Channel on small boats this year as an ‘invasion’.
MICHAEL
What’s story number three? Well, we’re relaxing the rules about who can become a spy. If you’re a British citizen, you potentially qualify. Even if your parents came from overseas.
PHIL
For our fourth story, we talk about the Brit found wandering a Thai beach naked and unable to remember anything that had happened in the past 24 hours.
MICHAEL
And to finish the show, at number five, it’s former Health Secretary Matt Hancock’s decision to swap the Westminster jungle for… an actual jungle, as a participant on I’m a Celebrity!
PHIL
Some people would be quite happy for him to stay there, I’m sure! And that’s this week’s Five in the Eye.
